Mrs Sharp's daughter was diagnosed with Down’s syndrome at birth and has undergone a number of tests for associated medical problems, which she and her husband Aaron are still awaiting results for.

The little girl was shaken as the pram was dragged alongside the bus but unharmed, Mrs Sharp said.

Mrs Sharp, 34, said: 'This could have been so much worse. I’m not looking for the driver to be sacked, I want him to realise that next time he could cause someone serious damage.'

A spokesman for Stagecoach said: 'We are sorry for any distress this customer experienced during her journey with us.

'We have investigated this alleged incident, including viewing the on-board CCTV, which clearly shows that the driver did not pull off before the customer had alighted.

'There was however some slight forward movement of the vehicle for a split second which caused the customer to temporarily lose her balance while exiting the vehicle. However, the driver halted the bus immediately when this occurred.

'We are sorry for any upset this may have caused and we have taken steps to address this with the driver involved.'
